Aegon

The insurance industry

Wearable devices can prevent health issues, sensors detect home fires before they have ignited and robo-advisors support individuals with private investments. Meanwhile, there are also regulatory changes, such as the activation of Solvency II in January 2016. The global financial services industry is challenged as never before. It’s a highly fertile environment for FinTech startups with a disruptive character. Major global players within the insurance space are reinventing themselves and their portfolio to respond effectively. That makes this industry a challenging and satisfying environment for strategic professionals.
